How do you get started into the real estate buisness?

January 7th, 2013 2 comments

Love sales but don’t know the first steps into real estate. I know theres alot of scams promising success within a week, but i don’t believe that’s true.

I am a real estate birddog, investor and mentor and I am not a fan of the no money down, make a million dollars in real estate your first month B.S. However you can make a lot of money in real estate if you set yourself up right from the beginning and treat it like a business. My partner and I work with people to first establish their skill level, interests (rehabbing, buying and flipping, landlording, etc) and we also discuss risk tolerance. If you are 36 years old with a mortgage, wife and three children, you have more at stake than a 22 year old who rents a cheap apartment and only has to worry about himself. And different people have different comfort levels when it comes to risking capital or even taking on the responsibility of property.

That being said, I believe the best way to start is to read as many real estate books that you can get your hands on. I usually go to the library and take out books and if I think the book has good info, I will buy it. Also, you can go to ebay and half.com and look for real estate courses at greatly reduced prices. A lot of these have never been opened.

While you are doing that, look for a real estate investor group near you (go to nationalreia.com and click on groups). You can meet other investors and they can give you tips on who has better courses.

To me, if you are working with little money and are not sure of yourself yet, I recommend birddogging houses for other investors. You can learn your local market and also learn what other investors look for (this is called a clue). While you are learning, you should also make sure your credit is good (yeah, I know the no money, no job, no credit line. You dont need them, but it sure makes your life easier if you have them!). Also, line up your money, whether it is a line of credit, bank, mortgage broker and/or hard money lender or private investors.

I have generated $10,000 in a weeks time (with about 6 hours worth of work) tho it took a couple of weeks for the first $3,000 to be paid and about two months until the house closed and the rest came in. So, yes. You can make big and fast money in real estate. But it is better to go in with knowledge because there are sharks in the waters and scammers are out there.

Unbeatable Ebay Business Opportunities

February 25th, 2012 No comments

When you first look into the numerous eBay business opportunities websites, you may feel that it’s too big, complicated and confusing. You might even believe that only Internet professionals or Internet veterans can figure out its complexities and find an eBay business opportunity. Fortunately, this assumption isn’t true.

If you take advantage of an eBay business opportunity, you may come to realize that even Internet novices can easily learn and succeed. In fact, most eBay business opportunities are conceived out of resourcefulness and not out of Internet intricacy. People with just about any Internet skill level can earn substantial profits just by taking the time to find the right eBay business opportunity.

EBay is constantly expanding and improving. Continuous changes are implemented. For every improvement on an existing eBay business opportunity or newly introduced scheme, the basics are always outlined. You are sure to find that it’s fairly effortless and relatively simple. Even more, you don’t have to take tremendous risks when you try out an eBay business opportunity, whether as seller or buyer.

It is understandable why people around the world look into eBay business opportunities. There are chances of succeeding and earning impressive profits on eBay with less risk and cost involved.

Regularly, there is an ingenious eBay business opportunity that’s waiting to be discovered. One method can even translate to a large sum of money in a matter of three days.

This eBay business opportunity springs up when you buy an item on eBay that had resale rights. Then, negotiate an agreement with an eBay power seller.

Here’s the scenario: there is a popular product up for sale at $10 and then, suddenly reduced to $5. While this sudden reduction could be reason for caution, if this offer is given to you by someone you’ve already bought similar items from before, you can be confident that the offer can be trusted.

This half-price offer may be available for only 48 hours, though. This limited time is because the person offering the half-priced item has an agreement with the seller. The condition for the sale is to offer half price for a period of 2 days only.

So, the outcome is that the half price offer is an opportunity too lucrative to ignore. In the scenario, 3 out of 10 people offered this eBay business opportunity decide to buy. This percentage of involvement is consistent, every time such eBay business opportunity is offered!

For example, let’s assume that 200 people are offered this eBay business opportunity. Add it up: multiply a third of 200 by $5, then expect to find that amount in your bank account in a matter of 3 days!

That’s not even all of it. Imagine the item has a higher price. Even if it is slashed by half, it would still get you generous profits once you see the lump sum on the bank.

Are you excited yet? This eBay business opportunity, like most others, works fairly simply. You could apply this idea to products that are especially on demand and highly desirable. Also, find out if someone else offers the same item for a lower price.

The next step is to send an email to an eBay power seller or someone you know with a credible eBay shop. Be sure to stipulate that if they will offer your item to their past buyers at half price, you’ll go for 50-50 profit sharing. But be certain they are selling similar products you are offering. Doing so will help them take an interest and find that the eBay business opportunity you’re offering them is hard to pass up.

Settle issues with payments by creating a free web site and following its instructions. You can also set up a PayPal link in it. Once someone agrees to add your item to their listed items, send them a link to your temporary website. The power sellers will then send emails that include your temporary half-price offer and your website link to all of their past buyers. In order to inspire some urgency to buy, the email focuses on the fact that the eBay business opportunity being offered to them is limited and gives the offer’s expiration date.

Consequently, after the 2-day period, you close down the temporary website, evaluate your sales and show it to the power seller you worked with. As promised, pay the 50% of the earnings to the power seller’s Paypal account. The other half of the earnings is yours to keep.

There you have it, another eBay business opportunity that’s sure to provide positive results and a tidy profit. The key to your success is to take advantage of the opportunity and never be intimidated.
